Marcadier, Lyon, France.  These cars built from 1967 to 1976 are very pretty little French sports cars.  They were made by André Marcedier who was inspired by Colin Chapman of Lotus fame.  He built a series of kit cars including this Barzoi coupé with gullwing doors.  I believe the original car had a 1,300cc Renault R8 engine but of course some have been re-engined over the years.  In 1968 one took a good eighth place in  the GP de Paris at Montlhery in a race won by Johnny-Servoz Gavin in a Matra.
